Shar piloted his private clunker out of warp speed and looked around until he spotted the base to which he'd been reassigned. Starbase 901 looked quiet compared to some of the places he'd been shipped around to. Oh well, he couldn't complain. They let him bring his ship after all.
Shar contacted the flight control and announced himself to them. They gave him a bay number and he proceeded to carefully dock... wouldn't do to get in a crash on the first day, after all.
He entered the bay and looked around. No honor guard, that's just as well. He looked around and saw a comm console set in one of the walls. He walked over to it and called up the list of base officers. Commanding officer of the Marines... that's who I should contact. Proper channels or direct, hmm, tough choice. Shar continued to scan the list... the Executive Officer -- that would work! He quickly punched the proper console keys... blast! Nobody home! Shar quickly left a message and his own private comm that he could be reached at.
Just enough time to start exploring. He quickly secured his ship, checked his small concealed weapons, and left the docking bay to look about his new home.
